Student artists sought for mural competition

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is looking
for student artists to create a mural celebrating diversity in
computer science that will be on permanent display in Davis
Hall.

The winner of the competition — open to all UB students
— will receive a $500 cash prize. The deadline is April
7.

“We are looking for a mural that celebrates the many
contributions made by women and minorities in the field of computer
science, and one that will make our department a more welcoming
place for everyone currently underrepresented within our
field,” a statement on the mural competition’s website
says.

The mural will be installed on the third floor of Davis by local
artist Max Collins.
